One Tweeter asked if the Salamander program was G rated and if children
should come along. Yes indeed kids love the program and the interpretation
of the salamander mating will be "G" rated.

I will lead a "Salamander Love Night" walk on Saturday night February 17th
at Camp Long to watch the salamanders assemble for their romantic rendezvous
then head into the woods to see the lungless Plethodons (that lay their eggs
in the ground - we are very unlikely to see them laying eggs)
the Western Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon vehiculum)
http://www.dnr.wa.gov/nhp/refdesk/herp/html/pic_plve.html
and the Ensatina - (Ensatina eschseholtzii)
http://www.lightofmorn.com/photos/EnsatinaMar06_1w.jpg

The walk is 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm at Camp Long in West Seattle. It is $8 per
person. Pre-registration is required. Call Camp Long at 206 684-7434 to
pre-register

Also I'll be leading an Owl Hoot walk earlier that evening (Sat. Feb. 17th)
at Camp Long from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. It is $8 for adults and $6 for kids.
Pre-registration is required. Call Camp Long at 206 684-7434 to
pre-register.
